KU Traffic Study Opens Long Range Plan Effort
A planning consultant begins a six month, 77000 study of traffic on and around Kansas University's Lawrence campus. Richard Nau of BRW Inc coordinates vehicle and pedestrian counts and will advise on options such as closing Jayhawk Boulevard to motorized traffic and creating an off campus shuttle. The study supports KU’s 20 year master plan started in 1992 and ties to the city Horizon 2020 plan. Counts and observer teams will operate mainly over the next two weeks with findings due in the spring.
